d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
Use the machine only for dry sanding. Pene-
tration of water into the machine increases the risk
of an electric shock.
Pay attention that no persons are put at risk
through sparking. Remove any combustible
materials in the vicinity. Sparking occurs when
sanding metal materials.
Caution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the
object being sanded as well as the sander.
Always empty the dust collector before tak-
ing breaks. In unfavourable conditions, e. g.,
when sparks emit from sanding metals, sanding
debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack (or
in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can
self-ignite. Particularly when mixed with remain-
ders of varnish, polyurethane or other chemical
materials and when the sanding debris is hot after
long periods of working.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
14 | English
Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive.
Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcino-
genic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materi-
als are particularly dangerous. Dust from light
alloys can burn or explode.
Never use the machine with a damaged
cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and
pull the mains plug when the cable is dam-
aged while working. Damaged cables increase
the risk of an electric shock.
